[065/118] fs/fscache/stats.c: fix memory leak
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri May 10 2013 - 10:35:58 EST
3.2.45-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Anurup m <anurup.m@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ec686c9239b4d472052a271c505d04dae84214cc upstream.
There is a kernel memory leak observed when the proc file
/proc/fs/fscache/stats is read.
The reason is that in fscache_stats_open, single_open is called and the
respective release function is not called during release. Hence fix
with correct release function - single_release().
